Is there a list of what earns you RP in the new league? (Or an old one to reference?) I've never really understood the race rewards.

Once they have the actual races on the schedule they will all have what level earns you what points.

Basically you get a certain amount of points for reaching certain level ranges. Once you get enough points to get the race rewards they get added to your stash in a remove only tab which you can take the item out of the tab and then use. This does not take away any points that you earned. And for most races they give out random rewards prizes which function the exact same way.

e - you can leave the remove only tabs in your stash for as long as you like, and then after 1 month they will become available in the new leagues. Really thinking of doing that with the Whispering Ice as that should be a great looking 3d model.

I have a small baby to deal with, I only get to play for 30 mins here and there. I think I'd seen one before but killed it easily. This was on one of the unique towels in Solaris so took a lot more killing. I'm also ground slam so the effect isn't too obvious.

Most races, in my experience, it's fairly easy to hit a mid-level point tier. Like the 6 point tier in that above example. 20 races that you do decent in should be enough to get a Whispering Ice.

Eh, if you like races then do them, but if you don't like them, don't do them just to get a certain item unless you're specifically after sweet alternate art. If you spent the same amount of time just farming currency you could almost certainly buy the item outright and have currency leftover. For example, whispering ice can be had for under 10chaos on talisman SC right now.

Man, back when ZiggyD was playing it on stream those things were going for 8ex. I guess it's a combination of it not being a big streamer/youtuber build and Bladefall being a "better" Whispering Ice.

edit: I bought one for 5c and it's ilvl 78. Might've been a fluke?

Yeah I'd guess the sub 10c ones are all probably super low ilevel which makes the item a bit garbage.

edit: the real draw for me is the super cheap potential 7-link since all sockets attach to the icestorm skill it provides without requiring a link.

Vorici can fix them for 350 jewelers, which is still pretty drat cheap. Total price is still below 50c.




Edit: I accidentally typed fusings instead of jewelers.

If you just want a particular unique then don't race for it but the value of the alternate art will add a good premium so it's not like you're spending all the time racing for and item only worth 10c.

Likewise the prices of useful and nice looking alternate arts goes up over time for obvious reasons, so if you want to get them while they're cheap it is a good opportunity for making currency in the future I guess.

This is obviously jewelers, as 350 fusings for under 50 chaos is... ridiculously ambitious.

I parked my car...
So i picked up an Item level 51 two stone ring, used an alch orb on it and goes +16% fire and cold with +20% fire, +26% lightning and +19% cold resist. I want to use my level 5 elron for life which isn't that great but want to know if i can "exchange" or "remove" the crafted mod later without affecting the resist?

Sweet alch. You can, you just need to get Elreon up to level 7 or ask someone else to do it.

Should I take the sheer volume of Rigwald's Curses on poe.trade as a sign that they're basically unsellable despite the scores of chaos people seem to want for them? Not sure if I should press my luck trying to roll a t3 unique or not.

Not an embezzler. A box. With +8 and +40something% quantity.

And I just ripped @ 82 to a lockbox in a zana mission. Bunch of devourers spawned right on top of me and I hit my flasks, but it was too late. I would have a screen shot but I already closed the client. Bladefall is cool and good, but I guess I need to get my icecrasher up to maps now.

i saw a cool build that used a "take damage when minions die" unique with cwdt linked to extremely short duration skeletons to automatically trigger itself and also linked to a bunch of spells and poo poo so it was a passive autocaster until the guy eventually died

sadly it requires a bunch of expensive stuff so i cant run that in a new league but i really want to.

On that note - if you find any of the items on the "ID these items" challenges, check the price BEFORE you identify it. Odds are the price is way higher unidentified. Many of them are worth multiple exalts at this point.
